Boring Swiss...fuck off!

[JUAN PABLO]

I doubt the Argentinians will be losing any sleep over facing the Swiss.

they thought the same against Verde

[TopDeck113]

True

[rougegorge]

I can't ever remember being entertained watching Switzerland play. I knew they would eke out a win somehow. Solid but no exciting play or intent. It makes me want Argentina to beat them.

Best gane ever.

To fall asleep during and wake up as they did the penalty coin toss.

Bad finishing did for Colombia rather than the shootout.  Was hoping for a "feisty" match with Argentina!

Argentina & Morocco the only non-European teams left now.  Wasn't expecting that this time last week when the knockout stage started.

[Brazilian Villain]

I doubt the Argentinians will be losing any sleep over facing the Swiss.

Maybe, but I suspect they'd rather have faced Colombia.

Love it!

Sebastian Hutchinson and Andros Townshend. Like shopping at Nisa, perfectly adequate but something doesn't feel quite right.

I prefer them to most commentary duos. Maybe because I don’t hear them much and they haven’t had time to annoy me like so many of the others, or because they’re both decent on the Grauniad pod.

I achieved a sleep score of 88 High, 6hrs 36min of sleep. 

Thank you to the good people of Switzerland and Colombia!
